It's almost hard to believe, but Chipper is only 34 this year. even if he only has 3 or 4 good seasons left, he is going to finish his career with some pretty nifty numbers, and he has clearly been one of the two best third sackers of his generation, along with Scott Rolen (three if you throw in ARod). There were several years when Chipper was easily the best thirdbaseman in the game, and several years where he almost singlehandedly carried the Braves offensively. Plus, he hasn't even been all that injury prone until last season.
